Vectra®/Zenite® LCP - Liquid Crystal Polymer
High-Performance Halogen-Free Polymers
Vectra® and Zenite® liquid crystal polymer (LCP) is a family of halogen-free, high-performance polymers that deliver exceptional high-temperature performance in eco-friendly thin-wall applications. These polymers offer exceptionally precise and stable dimensions.
Product Properties
Service temperature up to 240°C, short term up to 340°C
Very close tolerances possible (to tolerance class T6)
Very low heat of fusion (short cycle times possible)
Flash-free injection moulding
Very high tensile strength (up to 200 MPa) and tensile modulus (up to 30,000 MPa)
Very low coefficient of thermal expansion, comparable with that of steel and ceramics
Inherently flame-resistant (UL 94 V-0, some grades with 5 VA)
Halogen-free without additives
Very good resistance to chemicals and oxidation
These highly crystalline, thermotropic (melt-orienting) thermoplastics are distinguished from semicrystalline plastics by their special molecular structure, which consists of rigid, rod-like macromolecules that are ordered in the melt phase to form liquid crystal structures.
